Epilepsy Poem by Claire nc Castachino
Epilepsy
one thousand stinging spines
creeping upward from inside
crawling along my spinal cord
up the small of my back
spreading into my muscles
taking over my shoulders
eyes roll back
u n c o n c i o u s n e s s
shaking starts
violent and beyond control
vomit
and the pain is gone
and i am back
epilepsy so painful...i know since i have a sister with the problem...the complications that arise are devastating in a family...like any other family with a person with a disability...a nice poem written from the other side...thanks...love...nalini
